Modular Sound Tuning

Designed with vehicle manufacturers in mind, this innovative air induction system from Visteon contains double the amount of tuning capacity over competing sound tuning systems at a lower cost. A key element that makes this product an important innovation is its ability to be used in a variety of applications and environments.

Its mass customization configuration is designed to support a myriad of acoustic tuning combinations, all in a generic package. This common appearance also minimizes the need for numerous design iterations, reducing the amount of prototypes and improving the time required to bring a vehicle to market. The Air Induction System with Modular Sound Tuning allows vehicle manufacturers to implement a single system across multiple product lines.

Because it reduces the amount of discrete resonators and wave tuners attached to the inlet and outlet ducts, it provides a much cleaner appearance within the underhood compartment and also optimizes space. More space efficiencies can be realized when the Air Induction System with Modular Sound Tuning is combined with other Visteon technologies that yield quantifiable powertrain results.

Key benefits include:

  • Allows better tuning of the engine sound versus using multiple stand-alone tuners.
  • Further improves underhood packaging by reducing space requirements with Visteon's Long Life Filtration System.
  • Reduces passive hydrocarbon engine emissions to LEV II, ULEV II or PZEV levels as identified in the diurnal Sealed Housing Evaporative Determination (SHED) test when combined with Visteon's Air Induction System with Emissions Control.

Visteon delivers innovative air induction systems that meet functional targets for acoustics, power, emissions and serviceability, while complying with cost, packaging, styling and weight constraints.

So many of today's vehicle manufacturers use the way an engine sounds as a means to differentiate their product. The Air Induction System with Modular Sound Tuning could be just the product that accomplishes this goal in a cost-effect, consumer-pleasing way.
